Ripple Labs has announced a major $1 billion fundraising effort aimed at increasing its XRP holdings amid challenging market conditions. This capital will be raised via a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and a newly established digital-asset treasury (DAT) structure designed to support long-term financial strategies.

The fundraising effort comes during a turbulent period for the crypto market, which has experienced significant volatility, including $19 billion in liquidations triggered by U.S.–China trade tensions. Despite this, Ripple remains confident in XRP's potential, currently holding approximately 4.7 billion XRP valued around $11 billion, in addition to 35.9 billion XRP secured in on-ledger escrows.

In a strategic move to strengthen its treasury capabilities, Ripple has also acquired GTreasury, a corporate treasury software provider, for $1 billion. This acquisition is set to enhance Ripple's asset management and financial operations.

XRP maintains a strong market presence with a market capitalization of about $138 billion as of October 2025.
